The Visitor1979

Horror Vault's take

A mysterious figure descends to Earth on a mission that spans the cosmos, converging on a seemingly ordinary family in Atlanta where a dangerously gifted young girl harbors a darkness far older than humanity. Part alien odyssey, part demonic thriller, this late-70s curio blends science fiction and supernatural horror into something defiantly strange. With a stacked cast of Hollywood veterans and a relentless streak of wild set-pieces — telekinesis, bird attacks, and more — it earns its reputation as one of the era's most gloriously unclassifiable genre films. Fans of fever-dream cinema will find plenty to marvel at.
